Micro-surfacing along Rim Rock Drive will start on Tuesday, September 28 and take place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The project will start at the East Entrance Station and progress toward the West Entrance Station (gate-to-gate.) Park visitors and Glade Park residents and can expect 10-15 minute delays through the road construction work zones. There may be multiple areas of work occurring at the same time, and in that case the combined delay time will not exceed 30 minutes. Motorcyclists and bicyclists should expect rough road conditions throughout the duration of this project. Bicyclists are reminded that they must obey all flagging stops in the work zones. Road surfaces will be rough and may have slick areas as well.
